Peace to those who may read.
Daniel’s vision of the 4 beasts.
As a roaring lion and a ranging bear is a wicked ruler over the poor. These are instinctive “brute beasts” who rule over those who are unstable in the keeping of the commandment to have love for one another. These are church rulers who follow after their own lusts.
Proverbs 28:15 KJV
(15) As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
Daniel dreamed of the 4 beasts in the night.
Daniel 7:1-3 KJV
(1) In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
(2) Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
(3) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Jude speaks of these “dreamers”…..the “brute beasts”….to whom the “blackest of darkness” is reserved. These are raging waves of the sea....the four great beasts came up from the sea as the 4 winds of the heaven (every wind of doctrine that they preach to deceive) strove upon the sea.
They feed only themselves…shepherding themselves. These are church “leaders” who have forsaken the Way of righteousness and go after their own lusts….minding earthly things: what to eat, drink and wear. They preach deceitfully...handling the Word of God deceitfully for unjust gain as they seek to get paid in order to feed their belly that they are serving. The natural brute beast only thinks instinctually of his own belly to feed. They "feed" or shepherd themselves only.
Jude 1:12-13 KJV
(12) These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
(13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
A lion and a bear are “brute beasts” who follow after their own physical instincts…minding earthly things. These are the false teachers who have crept in among us who lead us astray from the Way of righteousness.
Jude 1:10 KJV
(10) But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
These men have crept in unawares who were before of old ordained to condemnation and are denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:3-4 KJV
(3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
(4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Their job is to “catch and destroy” those who do not really believe as they do not practice the commandment of our Lord who commanded us to have love for one another. The life of Jesus is not being made manifest in the mortal flesh of any who are being deceived by them. They are used to destroy those who do not really believe. Remember, the Lord saved the people out of the land of Egypt and AFTERWARD destroyed those that did not believe.
Jude 1:5 KJV
(5) I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
They bring many into the bondage of their church doctrines and commandments of men as they successfully use great swelling words of emptiness to allure those who are just escaping from the pollutions of the world (having been once saved out of the land of “Egypt” = just escaping the pollutions of this world).
2 Peter 2:17-22 KJV
(17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
(19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
(20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
They speak with flattering tongues in order to lead us astray from the Way of righteousness that leads to life…..the eternal life of Jesus…in this earth. They seek to turn us away from the keeping of the Holy Commandment to have love for one another. They seek to take away the keeping of the "daily" sacrifice of our Lord Jesus in our mortal body so that His life is never made manifest in our mortal flesh which would give us His eternal life in this earth.
(21) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(22) But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
These “natural brute beasts” are made to take and destroy (not made TO BE taken and destroyed). That is their function as natural brute beasts: to take and destroy those who are just escaping the pollutions of this world (being saved out of "Egypt"). They are made to take and destroy those who fall asleep in the night…..as they forget to have love for one another…..turning from the Holy Commandment.
2 Peter 2:12-14 KJV
(12) But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
(13) And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
They deceive the unstable souls with good words and fair speeches while they go after their covetousness.
(14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
The “roaring lion”….a natural, brute beast…walks about seeking whom he may devour. This is Satan and his ministers posing as ministers of righteousness….the false teachers who have crept in among us to lead us astray from the Way of righteousness.
1 Peter 5:8 KJV
(8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
They walk after their own ungodly lusts and despise dominion (as a lion). They separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Jude 1:18-20 KJV
(18) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
(19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
(20) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
The “wings” of the Spirit (the eagles wings) have been plucked off (as they separate themselves) and they walk after their own ungodly lusts…..standing upon the feet as a fleshly man with a man’s fleshly heart instead of living after the Spirit. A man's heart is carnal as he is only minding earthly things and pursuing those earthly things.
Daniel 7:4 KJV
(4) The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
They defile our flesh….our mortal flesh…as they destroy us from off this earth. The life of Jesus is not being made manifest in our mortal flesh when we keep company with the “natural brute beasts” as they lead us away from the Way of righteousness so that His life is prevented from appearing among us.
The “fornication” is the sitting together with them in their churches. We must not sit together with them. This is the “fornication” we must flee from. We must come out from among them and be separate as we perish along with them in our mortal flesh if we sit with them. Their perishing from off this earth is the suffering of “eternal fire” that is truly evident as NO FLESH is being saved in any of the churches of fleshly-minded men who follow after the covetousness of their carnal hearts.
Jude 1:7-8 KJV
(7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(8) Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
As a ranging bear is a wicked church leader over the unstable souls. The bear, a natural brute beast, has a function: “arise, devour much flesh” ….as these dreamers defile our mortal flesh when we are deceived into sitting together with them (the true “fornication”) in their churches. When we go and sit together with them, we are "giving" ourselves over to fornication.
Daniel 7:5 KJV
(5) And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
The natural brute beast only seeks to fill his own belly...and we must not sit together with those who do these things. This is the true "fornication"....sitting together with those who are called "brothers" but are covetous.
1 Corinthians 6:13-20 KJV
(13) Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
(14) And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
We must not be joined together with them in their churches or we become ONE FLESH with them. We sin against our own mortal body as they defile our mortal flesh. We perish from off this earth without the life of Jesus being made manifest in our mortal flesh which would give us His eternal life in this earth. NO FLESH is being saved in any church of carnally-thinking man anywhere.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
We must flee the "fornication" by coming out from among them and be separate from them. We must glory God in our mortal body by not participating with them in their churches where they, as the "bear", are devouring MUCH FLESH as NO FLESH is being saved among them.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
